LG PuriCare concept is a purifier and cat bed in one

LG's giving cat owners a new appliance to add to their wish list. The LG PuriCare is an air purifier with a bowl-shaped cat bed on top. This 2-in-1 concept can become a comfy retreat for your kitty while ensuring the air in your room is clean. This padded bed features a weight sensor, so you get to monitor your cat's weight. If it varies too much, you'll get an alert on the LG ThinQ app.

Worried about the noise being too much for your furry friend? The LG PuriCare has a Pet Rest Mode that turns down the settings and noise when they hop up on the bed.

Acer debuts Project DualPlay Gaming Laptop concept with a secret controller

Acer showed off a new concept Predator laptop at IFA 2024 that hides a controller in the device. The Project DualPlay Gaming Laptop's touchpad doubles as a built-in detachable wireless controller. You just need to press the release button to remove the controller from its electromagnetic lock. When you pull the controller from the laptop, a pair of high-fidelity, five-watt speakers pop out of the sides to make the gaming experience more immersive.

Project DualPlay supports a second player. You can separate the joysticks from the controller to get a Nintendo Switch-like accessory. Acer specifically calls out Street Fighter 6 as a game you can play well on this machine alongside first-person shooters, multiplayer online battles, sports, or other fighting games. But this mode would only make sense if the game you're playing supports split screen.
